Sparkler Holder - Fencing Sword Version (Patreon)

Here’s a quick 4th of July sparkler holder with a fencing sword handle style.
The sparkler becomes the “blade,” and the printed part gives it more of a fun sword-handle look while you’re using it. This version is shown in a patriotic red, white, and blue layout with stars and stripes, but you can obviously print it in whatever colors you want.
I tested this with multiple sparkler styles, from the larger stick-style sparklers down to the smaller thin-wire ones. To use it, just push the stick/wire end into the holder. There is no separate clamp, collar, hardware, or extra retention piece. The internal shape is designed to grip the sparkler as it is inserted and keep it held in place.
The design is also intended so that, when inserted correctly, the lit portion of the sparkler stays several inches away from the printed part.
Obvious but important note: this is still plastic being used around fire. This is not a safety product, fireproof part, or anything like that. It does not replace normal sparkler/firework caution and it does not make sparklers safe for unsupervised use. Use outdoors, keep water nearby, and supervise kids the same way you normally would around sparklers.
This is probably best treated as a fun one-night holiday accessory. Use it for the 4th, have fun with it, and don’t expect it to be a forever tool.
Please be smart with it. I want this to be a fun little 4th of July print, not something anyone gets hurt with.
